| 316109 | 2005-01-20 10:38:00 | hi, running win xp prof, sp2, on an athlon 64 blah blah. anyways, when i boot up, it often comes to boot up, the screen (17" lcd) changes shades of black, i can then faintly see the windows xp startup screen (the one with the logo an dthe scrolling status bar), then it reboots itself, and asks if i want to go into safe mode, or boot normally, or go with the last known safe configuration, its really weird and annoying, so any help would be appreciated | Tux (606) | ||
| 316110 | 2005-01-20 21:47:00 | so can it boot into safe mode? what changes have you done to the system just before this started happening? |

| 316111 | 2005-01-20 22:51:00 | yes it boots fine after it gets to the that black screen, with all the different boot options, i havent made any remarkable changes, its a brand new pc. only just set up (well i built it, and now im setting up my programs), thanks | Tux (606) | ||
| 316112 | 2005-01-20 23:18:00 | have you turned off the automatic restart setting? the odds are its crashing on startup and autorestarting. turn off the auto restart and it should produse an error message. |

| 316113 | 2005-01-21 07:15:00 | would that be located in the bios, or in the control panel? Thanks | Tux (606) | ||
| 316114 | 2005-01-21 23:33:00 | i htink i may have found the source of my head ache, some how, my ati radeon 9600xt 128mb Bravo has been installed twice, once as a pci and the second as agp, how would i go about disabling the pci version as i am sure that is what is causing the conflict Thanks a heap in advance |

| 316116 | 2005-01-22 00:10:00 | If one card is internal/onboard and u put another videocard in an AGP/PCI slot, disable it somewhere in the BIOS (the onboard one). | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 316117 | 2005-01-22 09:54:00 | ok, i have managed to disable the pci version so hopefully it has managed to fix itself | Tux (606) | ||
| 316118 | 2005-01-22 20:14:00 | yup, i had this problem when i upgraded from intergrated graphics to a graphics card, i figured out that it was a driver clash, man i wish i knew drivercleaner existed before i done the reformat...... i also had to turn the intergrated video off in the bios and use agp | Prescott (11) | ||
